14. City Website re-design – Lalahpolitico does not recall that there was ever a discussion of this item. Now the City is ready to hire AHAConsulting of Lake Oswego, OR which is where our former City Manager Doug Schmidt was from. Lake Oswego is a customer of AHAConsulting. Our City’s price is $40 K plus $3K a year for hosting and support. The concerning part is that the consultant uses Drupal which is becoming a legacy system. Adds and changes to the custom site could be much more expensive than using alternative web systems technology.

DISCUSSION ITEMS

15. Special Event Application Pasarelle development wants to turn 3 parking spaces into temporary public space and bike parking...in front of Pete’s Coffee on Sept. 21

16. Civic Center Master Plan The City could decide what level of repair or rebuild option to undertake on Hillview Center. The report says it would take $10M of renovation to make Hillview a school and over $20M to make it a modern recreation facility. Short term repairs…1 to 2 $M.
